Pretty card with a unique layout and new Spring Catalog products

December 30, 2025

Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It features new product from the upcoming 2026 Spring catalog:

Isn’t it pretty? My colors include Pecan Pie with Basic Beige and a small strip of the Nature’s Walk designer series paper.

The stamp & dies bundle is called Nature’s Symphony. The textured triangle is the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. The greeting is from the new Prayer’s & Promises stamp set – it’s a wonderful new set for sympathy or thinking of you greetings. The greeting is the Labeled with Love punch seen here.

I’ll be sharing lots more new product in the next few weeks. In fact, in my weekly Live video today at 11 am CT I’ll share ALL of the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives too. Join me here! Don’t forget to follow me so you’ll be notified with I go Live.

This layout is simply one extra ‘diagonal half’ of a 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock added to the card front. Easy but has a unique look to it. This could be designer paper or card stock like I did here.

Below is the video tutorial I shared last week. It includes a second fun fold card as well.

Expressions in Kindness kit is back! And the sale ends today!

October 31, 2024

The Expressions in Kindness card kit is gorgeous! Look at these stunning cards…..

Save

This beautiful kit has been out of stock for many weeks. I'm so glad it's back in time for the kit promotion. It was $23 and is now $20.70 but that price ends today! See it here.

The kit is meant to make 8 cards but one set of the card bases is printed on both sides. I couldn't waste it so I trimmed it to add to both White & Blackberry Bliss card bases. I did have to add two greeting labels to get 12 finished cards but that's all I added besides extra envelopes.

Save

Here are the other 2 sets of cards; I didn't change much.

Save

Our kits are all inclusive which means everything is included including a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, envelopes, gems, ribbon and adhesives.

Even though I consider myself an experienced stamper I love our kits. They give me a chance to create without a lot of prep or planning. They're great for gifts or last minute crafting.

Last of our Team swaps include a neat technique and a fun fold

October 30, 2024
Today I'm sharing the last three card swaps from my Team in October. Our theme was winter or Christmas.

First is Roxann's card. It's a Christmas village scene!

Save

She used the Yuletide Village stamp set seen here. She also used the Falling Snow background stamp; which she heat embossed with White powder.

She fussy cut all of these homes, church and trees! It's so pretty and real looking!

~~~

Next is a fantastic technique made by Tracey. You might think she used designer paper here…..

Save

It's not! She made her own stamped background using watercolor paper and three colors of ink. Here's how she did it:

She thoroughly wet the watercolor paper before stamping the snowflake images in the following inks: Pool Party (looks like green here), Balmy Blue & Boho Blue. When you stamp on the wet paper the ink travels and blends together but leaves a faint impression of the snowflake images sometimes. Simply gorgeous!

The snowflake die-cuts are from the Frozen Edges dies seen here. The greeting and snowflake images are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here.

Measurements of the layers are as follows:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4", Textured white layer 5 3/8" X 4 1/8", greeting strip 5 1/2" X 1"
- Blue background is 4 1/8" X 3 1/4"
- Watercolor paper strips – left to right – 1/2" X 3 1/2", 3/4" X 3 1/2", 1" X 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"

Next is a pretty fun fold made by Rita.

Save

She used the Winter Meadow designer paper and the Encircled in Nature dies (seen here) for her trees. The front panel (White) is adhered to a flap that is part of the card base. It's a neat fold!

Her card base measures 11" X 4 1/4", score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2". Then make a mark at 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom on the 2 1/4" score line. You'll trim off the outer portion and that creates a flap for the White layer which measures 3 1/4" X 2".

Thank you to all of my Flowerbug's for creating incredible cards for our October card swap. My gals are super talented!!
